Tight Security!
Himachal Pradesh is on high alert after Khalistan flags were found tied on the main gate and slogans scrawled on the walls of the Himachal Pradesh Legislative Assembly complex on Sunday.
As per the information, the flags, which were removed by the administration, were put up on the outer side of gate number one of the assembly complex.
According to the statement given by the Himachal Pradesh police, "The state border has been "sealed" to regulate movements of suspicious elements across it and keep a strict vigil there, ''said the police.
Amid some pro-Khalistan activities in parts of Himachal and other neighboring states and the announcement of June 6 as Khalistan "referendum day", the state police chief also ordered the "sealing" of the border and beefing up state-wide security at sensitive and crowded places.
According to the tweet by the CM, he wrote, I condemn the cowardly incident of raising Khalistan flags at the gate of Dharamshala Assembly Complex in the dark of night. Only the winter session of the assembly is held there, and hence require tighter security arrangements during that time only," he tweeted. "Taking advantage of this, the cowardly incident was carried out, but the government will not tolerate it. Wherever the culprits are, they will be caught soon.
Chief Minister Thakur had said he will review the security along the borders with neighboring states -- Jammu and Kashmir, Ladakh, Uttarakhand, Haryana, and Punjab. Himachal Pradesh attracts tourists from across India.
